The 2026 Verizon DBIR is here - and one finding changes the conversation around cyber risk. For years, the industry has focused on identity as the primary attack surface.

He explores why attackers are moving faster than patch cycles, how AI is accelerating both exploitation and phishing, and why “identity vs. patching” is the wrong debate.
